RAID Configuring

3-29

Volume Name:

The default volume name will always appear as Volume Set. #.  You can re-
name the volume set name providing it does not exceed the 16 characters limit.

Raid Level:

Set the RAID level for the Volume Set. Highlight 

Raid Level 

and press 

Enter

.

The available RAID levels for the current Volume Set are displayed. Select a
RAID level and press 

Enter

 to confirm.

Capacity:

The maximum volume size is default in the first setting. Enter the appropriate vol-
ume size to fit your application.

Greater Two TB Volume Support: 

If volume size over 2TB, it will be provided

one option “Creater TwoTB Volume Support” Automatically.
No: still keep the volume size with max. 2TB limitation.
64bit LBA: the max. size 512TB, for Unix or Linux.

Due to LSI53C1030T does not support 16byte CDB for 64bit LBA, vendor
specific 12byte CDB is used for 64bit LBA support. The system may detect up
